PAPER-HANGING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming* part of Letters Patent No. 696,672, dated April1, 1902.

Application filed February 3, 1902. Serial No. 92,266. (No model.)

To o/,ZZ whom it may oon/067%:

Be it known that I, JULIUs M. GLIOKMAN,

a citizen of the United States of America, and aresident of Cleveland,in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Wall-Paper- Hanging Machines, of which thefollowing is a specification. i This invention relates towallpaper-hanging machines; and it consists in the new construction andcombinations of elements comprising such machines, having for its objectto provide means for greatly facilitating and ecouomizing the labor andexpense in per- 'forming such work.

The invention consists of a carriage arranged to travel on a track andcarrying the 'roll of paper, a paste-holder, a rotary pastebrush,pressure brushes, a paper-severing knife, and means for manipulatingthese several parts in rapid conjunction and automatically.

The apparatus is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichSheet 1, Figure l,is aperspective view ot the apparatus as seen inworkin g order. Sheet 2, Fig. 2, is a side elevation showing thecarriage and paste-brush in vertical section. Sheet 3, Fig. 3, is avertical section through the carriage and its traversing track andsupport. Fig. 4 is a right-hand side elevation of the carriage, showingthe means by which the roll of paper and the paste-brush and pasteboxcan be placed and removed. Fig. 5 is a detached View of the paste-box.Fig. 6 is a view of one end of the carriage-supporting cross-bar,showing the form of the ends that slide in the slots of thetrack-supports.

A A, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, are adjustable tracks or supports comprising twoslotted bars aand a', the middle slot being the one in which thecarriage travels. The slot in bar a is wider than that in a' to providefor the thick portion l of cross-bar, Fig. 6, while the thin portion 2shall lit in the narrower slot in o. The shoulders of the parts l and 2bear against the inside surfaces of said tracks and prevent saidcross-bar from shifting endwise in the tracks. The track-pieces a ci arejoined by cross-pieces b b and a disk B. Said disk B iits in a circularseat in the base-board," in which is fixed a center pin b', upon whichthe track may be turned for adjustment of the apparatus to the wall. Thetrack-pieces o' a are joined by a cross-head A. In the said pieces a ctare also made two narrow slots c c, one at each side of the centerslots, and through said side slots are placed bolts O O, by means ofwhich said pieces may be adjusted to extend or shorten the tracks forthe purpose of accommodating them to the height of the room in which itis to be used. The carriage consists of two side platesD D, fixed andsupported on the cross-piece that rides in the slotted tracks. Saidplates D D support the main working parts of the machine.

E is a paste-brush having its journals supported in two slide-pieces ec,held in the guides it on the outside faces of the plates D D.

paper- M is a permanent brush attached to the lower corners of theplates D D. The purpose of these brushes is to act as pressure-bearersin the operations of putting the paper on the wall, as seen in Fig. 1.

N N are levers fulcrumed on the sides of the box-plates D D and arejoined at their outer ends by a cross-bar N". To said levers areattached links O O', connected with the slide-pieces e e', by means ofwhich said slide pieces are pushed outward for moving the paste box andbrush back from roll of paper whenever desired.

P Pare alsolinks connecting thelevers NN with the sliding-brushcross-bar J, by means of which said brush may be moved upwardsimultaneously with the movements of the paste brush and box.

Q is a pawl pivoted to the leverN and resta ing on a stop-block u on theplate D for the purpose of holding the levers from moving when notrequired.

Q' is a cord or rope attached to the pawl Q,

7 F 1s a paste-box suspended by its ears ff passing over a pulley q onthe lever N, by means of which the pawl Q may be pulled outward and thelevers pulled down for the purpose of manipulating the brushes andpaperroll.

S is ascrew fixed in the plates D D, its righthand end held in an arm Son the support ct for the purpose of shifting and holding the carriageon the cross-bar to adjust the carriage to have the paper being put onthewall exactly join the edge of the sheet last put on. S is an endlesschain playing on a sprocketwheel head on the end of said screw S, bymeans of which the screw may be turned when the carriage is up in theupper part of the track.

U is a chain extending from the top bar of the frame-support down to thebottom, and U is a loose sprocket-Wheel on the shaft of the brush E,Whose teeth mesh in the chain U for the purpose of giving rotary motionto the paste-brush as the same is traveling upward.

In a frame XV, attached to the supports ct a, is supported a shaft R,having on its ends grooved wheels VV, to which are attached ropes r r,which pass up and over pulleys t t on a shaft journaled in brackets atthe top of the frame-support ct', thence down, and having their endsattached to the ends of the car? riage cross-bar.4 y

T is a bevel-pinion on the shaft R, and X is a bevel-gear journaled inthe frame W and meshing with said bevel-pinion and having a hand-crankon the outside. The purpose of this is for hauling the carriage upwardin the operations of the machine.

Z is a knife attached to the top side of the sliding brush-bar J, whichwhen said brushbar is pushed upward will cut the paper by contactingwith the slot in the bar Y on the top corners of the carriage-plates DD. The brush L also moves upward at the same time and finishes puttingon the paper.

Having described my invention, what l claim is- 1. A wallpaper-hangingmachine consisting of side plates D D, a supporting cross-bar D', aremovable rotatable paste-brush E, journaled in slides e 6 on the sidesof said plates D D, a removable paste-box F suspended on the journals ofthe paste-brush, a movable cross-bar J playing in slots jj in the sideplates D D, a brush L carried by said crossbar J, arms g g' pivoted tothe sidesD D carrying paper-roll holder, a permanent brush M attached tolower corners of plates D D, levers N N fulcrumed on the sides of theplates D D, links O O connecting said levers with the slidingbrush-holders e e', the links P P connecting the levers N N with thesliding brush-holding cross-bar J, a knife Z on said sliding cross-bar,and a slotted cross-bar Y on upper corners of the plates D D, all constructed and combined to operate substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

2. The wallpaper-hanging machine comprising the side supporting-plates DD supported on the cross-bar D', a removable and rotatable paste-brush.E, journaled in slides e e on the plates D D, a removable paste-box Fsuspended on the journals of the brush E, a movable cross-bar J playingin slots jj in the side plates D D, a brush L carried by said cross-barJ, arms g g pivoted to the sides D D carrying paper-roll holder, apermanent brush M attached to lower corners of the plates D D, levers NN fulcrumed on the side plates D D, links O 0 connecting said leverswiththe sliding brush-holders e e', the links P P connecting the leversN N with the sliding brush-holding cross-bar J, a knife Z on saidsliding cross-bar J, and a slotted cross-bar Y on the upper corners ofthe plates D D, in combination with the upright adjustable slottedtracks A A, frame W on pieces ad of the uprights, shaft R supported insaid frame, grooved wheels V V on the ends of said shaft, bevel-pinion Ton said shaft, a bevel-gear X journaled in the frame WV and providedwith a hand-crank ropes r r attached to said wheels V V and passing upover pulleys t t at the top of frame A A thence down and attached to theends of cross-bar D', and the vertical chain U attached to top andbottom of frame A A, and the sprocket- Wheel U on the paste-brush shaftmeshing with said chain, all constructed and combined to operatesubstantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Signed by me at Cleveland, Ohio, this 31st day of January, 1902.
